'cause i spent a lot of time reading. but not every book i read was great. unfortunately i came across a few stinkers. they were so bad that i'm going

to take some time right now to show them to you so you can avoid them at all cost. that's right. it is time for my latest installment of my "do not read list." here we go. ♪ [ cheers and applause ] ♪ do not read do not read do not read these books these books ♪ >> jimmy: now before we start, i just want you all to know, these books are very real. they're 100% real. these are actual books. you can see them on amazon or check them out at your local library. they are real books. all right, so let's see what is on my do not read list. here is a first one here. this one's from england. pretty nice title. "reusing old graves." by douglas davies and alastair shaw. the only reason you should have this book is if you are trapped next to a chatty stranger on a plane. because as soon as you pull this out, they're gonna shut up. [ laughter ] "reusing old graves" is guaranteed conversation killer. in fact, it should say that on cover. this next one is, oh, it's great. a children's book here. this is sort of like "where's waldo."

"can you find jesus." [ laughter ] "can you find jesus." well, yes, we can. because you put him right in the center. everybody's looking at him. and there's a ray of light on him. [ laughter ] how could we not find jesus? if there is one thing you should learn from "where's waldo", it's you hide him. you put him next to a guy in a robe. you put him behind a couple of shepherds, something like that. i bet it takes like ten seconds to read this whole book. it's like, there's jesus. [ laughter ] there's jesus again. jesus. that's just jesus by himself there. [ laughter ] ten seconds. do not read this book, so please. [ applause ] check out our next book. i'm not sure who this is aimed at.

"space tug" by murray leintser. [ light laughter ] i bet this is about an astronaut whose been stuck alone for too long in the space station. is that -- [ laughter ] no? my big question is, is this a high quality paper back? oh, wait, it says it right here, high quality paper back. [ laughter ] and then again, right down here. high quality -- let me tell you something, you do not need to say it twice, and also, it's not true. it is not a high quality paper back. this is ugly and cheap. you don't believe me? let's take a look at back cover. it's a lot of quality work into designing that back cover. [ laughter ] do not read this, please. let's get to the next one here. oh yeah, this is great. "101 things to do with a dutch oven," by vernon winterton. [ laughter ] i think they missed one in there somewhere, i'm assuming. what's great about this is the dedication here. it's dedicated to my mentor and

also especially -- especially my wife barbara whose name should follow mine in the byline. she helped me with every recipe. [ laughter ] yeah, for the dutch oven. barbara probably deserves some credit. this is a great book to read in bed. get under the covers and get a good book out. [ laughter ] this next book is -- oh, it's one of the most confusing covers i've ever seen in my life. "when the bow breaks" by mercedes lackey and holly lisle. now let's see what's going on. this is -- there's a woman pointing a handgun at a knife. [ laughter ] who is protecting a scared child. then there's a lady knight on horseback. and for some reason a '57 chevy parked behind all of them. [ laughter ] completely lost here. i have no idea what's going on. maybe it explains it on top. what does it say there? hot cars, fast horses and elves to the rescue. [ laughter ] [ cheers and applause ] i still am confused.

how about down here? does it explain it down there? a novel of the serrated edge. i still have no idea what the hell this book is about, and i read it. this next book is for everyone who likes to buy and sell things. "how to buy and sell used guns" by john traister. i'm not sure if i like to buy a used gun from someone who looks like a unabomber. [ laughter ] sniffing the smoke out of the muzzle. i mean, "yep, it's certainly used all right. you bet your butt it is." [ laughter ] this last one here is the book for teens. it's called "if god loves me, why can't i get my locker open" by lorraine peterson. [ laughter ] probably just because you forgot your combination. [ laughter ] that's what i'm assuming. that's all we have of this edition of "my do not read list." [ cheers and applause ] if you have a book that you think should be on our next "do not read list", i want it see it. send your titles to our blog at latenightblog@nbc.com. well be back with more late
